The 3.2m zone from 5.8m grading 0.47% nickel is beneath a trench excavated at the original discovery in 1955 by Rio (SLAM news release March 01, 2012). The 8.25m zone grading 0.36% nickel, 0.30% copper and 0.02% cobalt from 115.3m represents a new discovery and is open in all directions.

These are drilled core intervals. True widths have not been determined.
The above intervals are associated with sulphide mineralization in coarse grained norite. Assays are pending on sulphide intercepts in holes GW12-02 and GW12-03 drilled from a site approximately 130m east of hole GW12-01.
SLAM CEO, Mike Taylor is excited about these results. "Intrusion-hosted deposits like Goodwin have potential for large tonnage. With this new nickel project, work to start soon on our new gold project at Saint Quentin and a NI43-101 resource estimate pending on Nepisiguit, SLAM expects to be very active in the mineral-rich Bathurst mining area. New Brunswick has tremendous mineral potential and is currently rated the world's most attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development, as announced by the Fraser Institute, February 23, 2012."
